I hear what you’re saying.... don’t prohibit the development of the automobile to save the jobs of the farriers. However, I’m still paying prices based on the staff being there . And I do believe that the human interaction is a beautiful part of daily life.
Making customers check their own groceries is not a technological advance. That technology has been available in grocery stores for 30 years.. This is a rip off and charging the customer for free labor on top of all the inflation. They can go f*** themselves.
I don’t think anyone’s getting tricked into doing labor when it comes to self-checkouts. Nobody gets done with it and then says “wait a minute! I could have had someone do that for me!” Everyone who does self-checkouts has themselves determined that the “labor” is worth it to them. Whether prices are too high in general is another story.
I also agree, the tractor will kill HUNDREDS of jobs. WTF are people thinking?
I hope I don't need to add an /s there. But I probably do if people are worried about pointless work disappearing thanks to technological advances.

Actually most people doing self checkouts are because these places are understaffed and the ones that are staffing are very slow.
If I go to a store for one item, I don't want to have to sit in a line for 10-45 minutes (as I had to recently, almost for an hour!)
This is also why self checkout with a hard item limit is the better middle ground.
